The Day My Zune Died

I am drained. I am hurting. It's cold. And my Zune MP3 player died yesterday. It was a sad and dreary day. I thought I wouldn't like that little black box of music, but after hours of listen to at least 800 of my favorite songs... it has come to an end. The end of a brief, yet musically enjoyable era. Good thing I didn't pay for the thing. I won it from Pepsi months ago, so that made it hurt a little less. (ha)

But... I had enjoyed hearing my favorite songs...even if no one else liked them. I could listen to everything from the Bee Gees to the Carpenters to Skillett, Ozzy, Steven Curtis Chapman or Daughtry or even southern gospel. I had all of the varieties. It was my happy little music box. Today is an empty little nothing. It's sad really.Yesterday was rough anyway, but when my little box that help me 'escape' when I was hurting - emotionally or physically - it made my day worse. Ha. I didn't realize that I had grown to love the little box. But I did, I admit it. It had grown on me.

Maybe today will be better, a little warmer, and little less emtionally draining. I'm up to my eyeballs in that mess. I need a break. I need warm weather, happy times and no stress....oh how I miss my little Zune. Better get ready for work.

Unsure

I'm unsure where I'm going with this so I'm going to just write. It's FREEZING cold outside! The wind is howling and this morning we had to move a small tree...no, really a large limb...from our driveway before we could even go anywhere. At least we don't have snow! I like snow unless I have to drive in it....then it's not such a good thing.

Neither my husband or I slept much last night. If he was up, I was sleeping. When he came to bed it would wake me up and I couldn't go back to sleep. He's been asleep for a couple of hours now. Not me... I'm trying to hold out a bit longer. If I go to bed now, I won't make it through the night. I know me.

I got to spend some time with my brother and sister-in-law today as well as with my parents. I've missed my little brother and his wife! I'm really proud of him. He will be going through his second tour of the middle east (Afghanistan this time I think) in mid-March as far as he knows. It's hard on everyone in the family, but other than mom, I'm sure Alyce has a hard time as well. Prayerfully he'll get home from there again safely and we won't have to worry about him quite as much then.

Well, I'm freezing!!! I need to get my fuzzy blanket, a good book and some hot cocoa and get cozy for the night. Will write more in a bit. I just need to warm up...

Til next time, take care.
